Constantia driver stopped for driving snow-covered car

Oswego County, NY - A 28-year-old Constantia man was ticketed over the weekend for allegedly driving a vehicle covered with six to eight inches of snow, Oswego County Sheriff's deputies say.

Kristopher B. Dumigan of Auringer Road, allegedly pulled out in front of a deputy's patrol cruiser going west on State Route 49 Saturday afternoon. Deputies say Dumigan's vehicle was covered in snow - including the mirrors, rear and side windows.

The deputy turned on the cruiser's overhead emergency lights. Dumigan kept traveling west on State Route 49. He then turned onto Lower Road and proceeded for nearly a mile before stopping, deputies said.

Dumigan was charged with third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation and driver's view obstructed. He is scheduled to appear in Constantia town court on March 17, deputies said.
